TBniree Cases By CAROLE FRANK Copy Editor There are 12 cses of flu in Student Health as of noon Tues day, Dr. Samuel Feunning, direc tor of Student Health said in an interview with the Daily Nebras kan Tuesday. "Two or three of the cases are highly suspicious of Asian flu, but so far none is specific since no reports have been received on the cases." The center has started blood serum tests to determine whether these and two or three others in .the past week are Asian flu. "From a clinical standpoint we have thus far had about half a dozen cases that are highly sus picious Asian flu,' he said. Dr. Feunning ;oonfirmed that five students from the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity had been ill with flu. One or two of .these are con sidered as possible Asian flu. There is no widespread epidemic or outbreak as of yet in the Uni versity, he emphasized. A new shipment of vaccine ar rived Monday and will be distrib uted to priority groups consisting of food handlers in all organized houses, Feunning said. These will include bus boys, cooks, and other , such members. Moyer, and Maj. John Redmond. (U. of N.

Around 400 students have been vaccinated by the University Stu dent Health but no program has been set up for the faculty, as yet, Feunning said. Individuals known to be sensi tive to egg are NOT to be given the vaccine since virus is grown in embryonated eggs. Vaccine shots are supposed to develop immunity but there is only 60 to 70 per cent effectiveness, Feunning said. If a student who had a shot would get the flu, he would probably get it in a milder Stage. Would the student be a car rier of the flu? This is difficult to say.. Asked if the school would be closed down if an epidemic would occur, Fuenning replied, "it all depends on the number of stu dents and faculty that have the flu. The flu lasts from three to four days and therefore the isola tion would be brief. Right now, I can make no recommendations." Symptoms of the flu to watch out for are an onset of chills, high fever up to 104 degrees, headache, cough and sore throat and aches. The flu lasts from three to five days but may affect the patient for several more days by extreme Lincoln, Nebraska e&iate N By GEORGE MOYER Copy Editor In a brief meeting Tuesday, the Faculty Senate passed a motion by Frederick Buetel, Professor of Law, requesting that the Liason Committee return what is "hoped will be a final report" on the Mitchell case at the next Senate meeting. Dr. C. Clyde Mitchell was for merly chairman of the department of agricultural economics. Dr. Mitchell was relieved of his duties as chairman during the second semester of the 1955-56 school year and later charged that his aca demic freedom had been abridged. "I think that it is disgraceful that we have let this matter go so Memorial To Honor Physicians A memorial to the pioneer coun try doctors of Nebraska, specifi cally the late Dr. Alfred Elder, has been established with the Uni versity Foundation, Perry Branch, secretary-director, announced to day. Mrs. Edith Dimmitt Elder has given stocks, valued at $100,000, for establishing a fund to support a series of lectures, demonstra tions and clinics to aid in keeping Nebraska physicians in touch with the advancement made in medical and surgical research. The program was outlined in the will of her husband, the late Dr. Jay Clinton Elder, retired dean of instruction at San Jose State Col lege who died in 1955. He had served on the College faculty for 31 years. Dr. Elder was a native of Hub bell, Neb. He received both his Bachelor and Master of Science degrees from the Universiy of Ne braska in 1907 and 1908 respec tively. While studying for his Ph.d at University of California, he wa3 assigned to the staff of Dr. Jacques Loeb, world-famous physi ologist. Prominent in civic affairs, he was director of San Jose City Li brary for 15 years and director of San Jose Hospital for 25 years. His interest in medicine came from his childhood experie.ices, when he drove the horse and buggy while his father, Dr. A. L. Elder, made long trips to his rural patients living near Hebron, Neb. His father died in 1902 after prac ticing for 30 years in Hebron and several years before that at Hub bell. A native of Wymore, Neb., Mrs. Edith Dimmitt Elder is a graduate of Wymore High School, Nebraeka Wesleyan University and Nebraska Wesleyan Conservatory of Music. During her college career, she was a soloist for First Presbyterian Church, Lincoln. . ' Throughout her life, she has painted here and abroad, and just this year had a one-woman show at Palo Alto, Calif. Her compan ion interest is modern languages, which she has studied since child hood. She spent this summer in intensive study of the Russian language. weakness. Oreintation programs are still being held for those students who were unable to attend the past sessions, Feunning said. Asked if we are prepared to meet the situation, Fuenning re plied, "we have plans that can be put into operation in case of a flu epidemic and therefore, I would say yes. Treatment consists of rest and symptomatic treatment of the flu. Because of plans to treat Asian flu eases in homes, and since stu dents have no place to go but their dormitories, the University is high on the list for vaccine priority. Dr. Fuenning said. Dr. Feunning reported that the Student Health Center has been receiving cases of the flu right along this year and that all had similar symptoms. He added, that none of the cases have turned out to be of Asian type. So far in this country, flu has affected roughly some 13,000 peo ple, a phamplet put out by the U.S. Department of Health said. It is probable that the current in fluenza epidemic will increase and may develop into pandemic pro portions by late winter or fall. Outbreaks of influenza has at tracted attention for centuries and has been known under a variety Ur long without a decision," Buetel said. Buetel had first moved that the Senate request a "final report." It was pointed out by Professor William Pfeiler, Chairman of the German department, that the sen ate could not require a final report though they could request a report of the committee's progress. "It is not right to instruct a commit- !tee with a time limit," Pfeiler said. In rewording his original motion, Buetel said, "The Liason Com mittee should report its recom mendations on this case and put them in writing so the senate will know what it is about." The Senate did not discuss re turning the voting privilege to Team Sendoff A send-off rally will be held Friday at 9:00 a.m. behind the field house, according to Bill McQulstan, .yell king.

The current epidemic was first' reported in Hong Kong ind Singa pore during the latter half of April, 1937.' Then in rapid succession, epidemics occurred in Taiwan, the Philippines, the Malayan States, Japan, India, and other areas. "For the first time in history we are in the fortunate position of being ahead of an impending epidemic of influenza, a Public Health official stated. The pandemic of 1918-19 which swept over nearly every continent and island of the globe, has been described as one of the great hu man catastrophes of all times. For the first time in the recorded his tory of the disease, mortality was high. People throughout the state have received almost unlimited innoc il lations from their family doctor or their local hospital it has been reported. However, the state health direc tor complained in September that state and local departments have not been receiving their share of the vaccine. The disease probably has reached epidemic proportions in Alabama, Illinois, Michigan and Oregon, a Public Health Service spokesman said.

In other Senate business, James Blackman, Associate Professor of Engineering Mechanics, was re elected secretary of the Senate for a third term. No one was nomin ated against Blackman and the vote in his favor was unanimous. Also included in work done by the Senate was the approval of a report by the Committee on Stu dent Loans presented by Miss Jane Stewart, Professor of Commercial Arts. Miss Stewart reported that the Student Loan service had made 838 loans totalling approximately $118,000 in the past year. Of these, 584 were emergency loans, which are limited to $125, totalling $41, 000. Of the loans, 557 were for $100 dollars or less while there were 143 loans of $200 or over. Men needed money worse than women for according to the report 738 men were granted loans as against 50 women. Miss Stewart reported that stu dent loans were up 33 per cent over last year. However, because some of the loan money available was in the form of grants carry ing stipulations, there was some money left in the Student Loan fund at the end of the year. Chancellor Clifford Hardin said, "Demands for student loans are increasing and any addition of funds would be most welcome." The Senate also voted for new members on the Committee on Committees.
